http://www.gen.cam.ac.uk/sens/index.html Look to the left, there's a sidebar explaining how to prevent all seven major aspects of ageing, or cure the damage once it occurs. These are in the same vein of "We could cure most automotive based pollution problems by selling hydrogen powered automobiles" that involve, you know, there being hydrogen powered automobiles at a price that the commuter class can afford, as well as a good way to filter these cars down to the anti-advantaged classes, whose cars pollute more, and of whom there are more. But, the point is not the actually doing it, but the getting to that point where we understand how to do it. On the "We can't actually do this" front, I'm curious if nanotechnical robots could maintain some or all of the techniques on a constant basis, or if these are things that needs to be maintained on a more cyclical (i.e., ten years as opposed to three seconds) kind of basis. Course, doesn't seem like there's enough information on the subject to answer questions like that.
An aside - the problems with hydrogen powered cars are twofold: One - They require a fuel source, and there is no hydrogen infrastructure. Two - they are so expensive to manufacture that only mass production could bring the cost down - and no one will buy them until they can go to the hydrogen station and buy some gas.
